Barri Gòtic is the oldest part of Barcelona. It began to take shape as early as the Roman times and has gradually developed over the years, while maintaining its original character. The centuries of history entrenched within the area are most clearly reflected in the maze of narrow, winding streets that intertwine throughout the area. By comparison the grid infrastructure of the rest of the city is clearly a carefully planned, modern concept, in order to allow the traffic to flow easily. Although this makes the Barri Gòtic area considerably less navigable by car, it allows locals and tourists to stroll through the pedestrianised streets, without being bothered by fast-moving vehicles. Barri Gòtic is enriched with historic buildings, Roman walls, interesting museums, as well as modern shops and delightful restaurants. This combination of modern and historic has transformed Barri Gòtic into the most visited area of the city.
